Those are pre-Clomid numbers.

I'd say that's right. I haven't really had any negative effects as far as I can tell, but it also hasn't done much for me. If my response to clomid is anything like my response to toremifene, I expect to see total test numbers above 1000, but I have not noticed any changes in symptoms other than...

Just wanted to update this thread as its been several weeks. I'm roughly seven weeks into 12.5mg/day clomid (along with vitamin D3 and stinging nettle supplementation). So far, no bounceback from the huge boost I felt during the first 5-8 days. I've actually felt a bit worse over the past 3 or 4...

I continue to be confused by this issue. Based on my most recent LabCorp numbers, this calculator results in 11.5 ng/dL free testosterone, equating to 1.63% (quite a bit below the 2% to 3% optimal range I see tossed around a lot). This is calculated from total test at 702 ng/dL, SHBG at 52.5...

It was discussed with Dr. Saya. He was not overly concerned, but it is the reason that follow-up labs in a few weeks will address adrenal function in more detail. I'm not "questioning the clomid," I'm just reporting on how it has made me feel so far. That's all I can do. I can't tell if you're...

I have no idea what this means. You seem to have some issue with me or my posts. I don't know what's not passing a "sniff test" for you, but I'm on this protocol under the supervision of Dr. Saya and Defy Medical and I'm just sharing my experience. I don't know what your issue is.

I didn't say always. I said "somewhat common." I've read several theads here and elsewhere (Peak Testosterone forum and the r/Testosterone subreddit in particular) of guys feeling much better after a week or two of clomid, only to see symptoms return and sometimes even worsen. The theory seems...

35, no PTSD.

Thanks for words of encouragement. If there is one thing I have learned from reading this forum, it's that patience is a virtue and a requirement for treating these kinds of symptoms. I'm at peace with things right now and content to wait this out, but it is frustrating that for four days, I...

Just wanted to keep this updated. I'm approaching the end of my third week on Clomid, and things are pretty much unchanged from my last post, which is to say no real side effects, but also no real improvement in symptoms. I had a really great four days or so at the end of my first week, but...

I'm into the second week of my Clomid protocol. As I mentioned above, I had some anxiety and sleep issues the first few days, but those have dissipated entirely. Beginning roughly Thursday of last week through the weekend, my energy and motivation were through the roof. I felt really great...

Thanks. Yes, the numbers seem fine (solidly mid-range for free and total test), and I'm probably not a good candidate for TRT at this time. One could argue that SHBG is a bit high at 52.5 nmol/L , but I don't think that would cause all the symptoms and Dr. Saya wasn't concerned with it. I had...

As noted, I'm on day 3. I've noticed some anxiety since I started taking it, almost feeling wired with my head racing like I've had too much caffeine or something. I also slept rather poorly the last two nights. Anxiety and trouble sleeping are not common problems for me, so I'm hoping it's just...

I had my consult with Dr. Saya last week. The consult was extremely informative and Dr. Saya was patient and understanding. I was concerned that with the relatively high test numbers my symptoms would be dismissed as “all in my head,” but Dr. Saya had much more compassion than that. ` The...

Over the next year, all symptoms either remained the same or seemed to get worse. Frustrated with my body composition and training performance, I even began to consider an AAS cycle, though I changed my mind on that pretty quickly. Ultimately, in the fall of 2016, I decided to do an 8 week cycle...

I am on day 3 of a clomid protocol with Defy Medical and wanted to document things in a thread here. While I've been a lurker only so far, this forum has been extremely helpful as I have considered my options over the last few months. ` So, my story. I'm 35, a lawyer, and married with two young...
